April 9-11, 2010

Presented by the Tulane Institute on Water Resources Law & Policy

and the Tulane Environmental Law Society

“A river is more than an amenity, it is a treasure”, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. 
 
Water is one of the elemental forces that have shaped our planet and human development.
Too much or too little of it can be the difference between growth and decline; between success
and failure; and between how cultures develop. It has always been so and remains so today
though not always in ways that our laws, policies and expectations are well tuned to deal with.

Changing climates, dwindling fresh water supplies, and shifting demands are bringing
renewed attention to how our water resources are managed—and how they perhaps should be.
This places water at the intersection of law and policy; science and technology; and culture,
economics and environmental stewardship. Putting these issues into both focus and context
is the aim of Bound by Water, a summit to be held at Tulane Law School on April 9 and 10,
2010.

The Bound by Water summit will feature some of our nation’s most eminent experts on water
law, policy, and management and will be of interest to lawyers, policy makers, planners,
resource users, advocates, and others with an interest in how water management affects their
community, business, or future.

Continuing Legal Education credits will be available for members of the bar. Certification and
maintenance credits may also be available for members of the American Planning Society.
